Dooley brings new recruiting philosophy

Dooley brings new recruiting philosophy

Now, under Dooley, the Vols want to recruit their border states (Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas), close states like South Carolina, Indiana, Illinois and West Virginia, as well Florida and Ohio. Dooley and company want to recruit a five-hour, 300-mile radius from Knoxville and treat everything in that circle as “in-state” for UT. They will also “spot” recruit with prospects from outside this designated area who show a genuine interest in the Tennessee program.
